Melissa was a young 20-something when she and husband Reuben founded what is now known as regional New Zealand’s leading and most awarded independent brand agency. Armed with both a Bachelor of Education and Diploma in Business from Massey University, Melissa found her writing, business and marketing talent paired perfectly with her knowledge, skills and empathy from education.

Hailing from ‘windy’ Wellington, and then the North Shore of Auckland, Melissa was inspired to work in the creative industry thanks to a love of art, design, and passion for writing. Now with four young children, Melissa balances raising a beautiful, happy family with Reuben her husband – while contributing to the continued success and strategic vision of a thriving, healthy business.
